Harper's First.Day in Prison.


COLUMBUS, o., December 13.-E1 yard l.
Harper Gid not receive his prison garo 70.
DAY, as il was found there was none IL
stock large enough for him, aud 3 suit had
to be made. Neither was his hair clipped
closely and face shaved smoothly, ia a.
coIdsnce with the regulations. he Tas
not required 10 90 to breakfast with the
other prisoners as he had MT received his
suit, but ate an hour later OF the usual
prison fare in the presence Of a number Of
reporters. He requested the officials here
after to allow as little Intrusion as possible
by newspaper men. Mrs. Harper,
her sister and their father we're
at the prison before noon to see the pris-
oner, and they had a long conference.
When the time came for parting, both
Harper and his wife broke down COM
pletely. Harper cried like g child for
several minutes. Mrs Harper and the
party returned TO Cincinnati this evening.
II is understood Harper will be allowed
TO retain his mustSche and long hair for
the present, in the expectation that he will
be returned TO Cincinnati to testify in the
other Fidelity cases. 1t has not been de-
cided as yet what will be the occupation of
the prisoner, Colonel a. G.. Patton, q form-
er friend Of his, who is q contractor at the
prison, called to-day and asked that he be
allowed to go on his contract as a sort of a
check clerk in which the labor is very
light. There is some question as 70 wheth-
er United States prisoner can be used on
State contract; hence, nothing definite
will be done for the present, The sentence
OF Harper is only for confinement and
does not imply that he shall labor except
il be from choice.

War Against the ..vhite Caps. >,

JEFFKRsoEvILLE, December 12.-The lead
ing citizens OF Crawford County,
Ind, have organized themselves into a
vigilance committee for the extermin alton
of q notorious gang of outlaws, known as
white Caps" These lawless deperadoss
have been enabled to terrify the authori-
ties 30 that no officer dared to modest them,
and the grand juries have positively re-
fused to indict them, fearing their coward
ly revenge. The best people have there
fore banded together with the firm deter
mination to suppress them regardless of
consequences, The vigilantes held numer-
Gus secret meetings Saturday night, aud it
is given out that they will insugurate
vigorous measures to-day. The "White
Cans, with much bravado, have announced
their direst retaliation for punishment in
ficted upon members of their gang. They
are q very desperate class, and serious
trouble is hourly looked for. Advices
from Leavenworth, the county seat, late
this afternoon, state that no disturbances
have yet occurred. but that many people
are greatly alarmed.

a Story of Theodore Parker.
EOgton Transcript


A story of Theodore Parker, which the
listeners believes has never been in print,
told him by venerable gen tleman prom
inent in free religious circles'
MANY years ago" said the narrator of
the incident, about the time when Parker
began to preach in Music Hall, was called
upon one day by Yankee sailor, who was
a good deal OF a thinker on religious sub
iects, and who took an interest
when he was IN port, in hearing
the leading religious orators speak,
and in visiting the places where free
thought was expressed. 1t may seem
strange now that q common sailor should
frequent the lecture rooms, but this was
in day when there were more sailors
than there are now, and when the major
ity of them were of different type from
the one that prevails nowadays. Well,
this sailor told me that he had not only
been to hear Parker, but had visited him
in his study the day after he had heard the
sermon. Parker was interested in the
man, and asked him what he thought of
his sermon.
The sermon was first rate, Mr.. Par
kerr said the sailor, but l didn't care so
much for the prayer.
What was there about the prayer that
you didn't likeP asked parker.
NOW, Theodore Parker had a way, as
you may remember, of m akiDg pretty long
prayers, and of embodying the Lords
Prayer in them, every Sunday. He closed
his prayer generally with the Lords Prayer.
So he might have guessed what the sailor
was coming to when he answered.
az knowit was from the Bible, Mr.,
Parker, that sentence in your prayer that
didn't like; but don't like it all the
same
"'Well. what sentence was itP
"a 1t was where you prayed the Lord not
to lead Us into temptation. Now, do you
suppose, Mr.. Parker, that the Lord would
lead us into temptation
Theodore Parker remained silent for a
moment, and then said'
No, my good man, don't believe He
would.
"'Then, said the sailor, L wouldn't pray
to Him not to do it.
1.-The sailor left the great liberal. 1t vas
some weeks after the incident that the
sailor called upon me. / was curious TO
see for myself whether he had told the
truth, and went TO hear Parker the next
Sunday at Music Hall to observe whether
be bad changed his practice with regard to
criticism had, indeed, made itsI impress.
ion."

erP' asked the listener.
mo, but he repeated it with a variation.
Instead of saying, Lead as not into temp.
tation, he said, Lead us from temptation,
and he continued to use that form, / am
sure, as long as he lived"

A:Prize Fight Broken Up.

HAMMOND, Ind, December 13.-The prize
fight between William Somers of Chicago,
and an unknown from Michigan City, at
Hessville. tonight, was indefinitely post
poned by the action OF Claude Kin

who, with 44caliber revolver in each
hand, ran amucK through the crowd of a
hundred sports present. Kimball fred
Unfortunately into the assem- blage, and
for few moments the saloon where the
fist fight was to have taken place seemed a
pandemonium. Peter Reich, the saloon
keeper, pulled a revolver on Kimball.
There was an exchange OF shots and
Reich fell MORALLY wounded. Kimball
took TO the woods. He shad been drunk
and obstreperoUs early IN the evening and
was put out of the saloon. In revenge, he
fred aivolley into the window, but no one
was hurt, and the saloon keeper treated it
rs joke. The bowboy was quieted
down and put to bed. 1t was when every
thing was in readiness for the prize fight
that be jumped wildly into the room and
began shooting right and left.

AIRED FLAG FUNERAL.
A Socialist Buried with Red Flags and Red
Decorations of the Coffin,


Pioneer Press.
The red FLAG of the Anarchist had place
in a nrocession in Minneapolis yesterday
for the first time in the clty's history. The
first genuine soclalistic or ansrchietic tQu-
ersl ever held in the Northwest Was held
in Minneapolis yesterday. The obsequies
were very quietly conducted. Fritz Rau-
fert. when he lived was quite prominent
and pronounced Anarchist among his fell
low Germans in the Northwest, and the
last sad rites were conducted in accord
with the dead mans expressed desire.
Kaufert died several days ego from the eff
fects OF exposure to the cold while travel
ing in Wisconsin. Surrounding the bier
were several hundred friends of the silent
Socialist. The most of them were men
Germans from all parts of the city. The
remains were laid in common pine coffin,
such as is generally chosen by the Anarch-
lists. There was g very modest display of
flowers, and there would not have been
anything particularly striking about the
cssket II 1t were not for the significant red
ribbons with which 1t was trimmed.
The strange gathering was addressed by
August BirEchfeldt, who spoke in German.
The speaker was a close personal friend Of
the deceased and his remarks were con-
fined mainly to eulogizing the departed.
de was very earnest, but made no sensa-
tional or fncendiary illusions to the doc
trine which the dead brother had espoused.
Fritz Gellerup, the fiery young Socialist,
was present. He and other leading lights
in the socialiatic element OF the city took
a position close to the casket as it was
borne to the hearse outside. They led the
procession to the Maple Hill Cemetery,
where the interment took place. Several
persons in the procession had small bits of
red ribbon tied in the buttonholes of their
coats, and one man carrlad a small red
flag. These were the Distinguishing signs
in the procession. The unusual pageant"
moved quiet,T and without interruption
to Maple Rill. The feature of the services
at the grave was an address by Mr.. Ga]lerup.
The address, while quite lengthy, was
remarkably free from anything of the in
cendiary kind. After the address the
mouTners quietly dispersed, and the first
Socialistic funeral ia Minneapolis was a
thing OF the past.

and Prince Henry. He dined in the even
ing " it'll the Crown Prince aud his family.
In the course OF conversation with the
Duke, DR.. Mackenzie again stated that hs

condition. He declared that the existence
of cancer was more doubtful than on the
occasion of his lest visit, and, in fact, had
never been proved. DR.. Mackenzie will
return 10 London in a week.

The Market Value of Some Autographs.

The Market Value of Some Autographs.
The prices which have been obtained re-
Gently for autograph letters at the sale
rooms in the Hotel DTouot in Paris sug-
gests peculiar reflections as to the relative
value of the celebrities who peDned them,
and the estimation in which they are held
by the purchasers.
Eight letters of Nine. de Stsel have Just
been bought for e20; IS was given for the
single letter of Camille Desmoulins; &c for
one of Cromwell, and a little over that for
one of Lord Byron; while one of Prudhon
fetched more than 910. Six pounds was
also given for an autograph Of Catharine
de Medicis.
Modern celebrities and contemporaries
were, of course, quoted very low in the
market, the highest price being ca for an
autograph OF the Able Liszt, and the 10 "
